Hotel California
Eagles
[Am] On a dark desert highway... [E7] cool wind in my hair [G] Warm smell of colitas... [D] rising up through the air [F] Up ahead in the distance... [C] I saw a shimmering light [Dm] My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[E7] I had to stop for the night
[Am] There she stood in the doorway... [E7] I heard the mission bell
[G] And I was thinking to myself... this could be [D]heaven or this could be hell [F] Then she lit up a candle... [C] and she showed me the way
[Dm] There were voices down the corridor... [E7] I thought I heard them say
[F] Welcome to the Hotel Calif[C]ornia
Such a [E7]lovely place... such a lovely place... such a [Am]lovely face There's [F]plenty of room at the Hotel Calif[C]ornia
Any[Dm]time of year... anytime of year... you can [E7]find it here
[Am] Her mind is Tiffany twisted... [E7] she got the Mercedes Benz [G] She got a lot of pretty pretty boys... [D] she calls friends
[F] How they danced in the court yard... [C]sweet summer sweat [Dm] Some dance to remember... [E7] some dance to forget
[Am] So I called up the captain... [E7] please bring me my wine (he said) [G] We haven't had that spirit here since... [D] 1969
[F] And still those voice are calling from [C]far away
[Dm] Wake you up in the middle of the night... [E7] just to hear them say
[F] Welcome to the Hotel Calif[C]ornia
Such a [E7]lovely place... such a lovely place... such a [Am]lovely face They’re [F]livin’ it up at the Hotel Calif[C]ornia
What a [Dm]nice surprise... what a nice surprise... bring your [E7]alibis...
[Am] Mirrors on the ceiling... [E7] pink champagne on ice (and she said)
[G] We are all just prisoners here... [D] of our own device
[F] And in the master's chambers... they [C]gathered for the feast
[Dm] They stab it with their steely knives... but they [E7]just can't kill the beast
[Am] Last thing I remember... I was [E7]running for the door
[G] I had find the passage back to the [D]place I was before
[F] "Relax" said the night man... we are [C] programmed to receive
[Dm] You can check out anytime you like but... [E7]you can never leave...
